Well, yes, ... theoretically ... I'm not holding out personally for
Priscilla as the author, but then, you know about Samuel Butler's notion
that the Odyssey was written by Homer's daughter? When a work is not simply
pseudonymous but anonymous altogether, how much significance can we attach
to the masculine gender here? But I'm not serious; I'm once again thinking
of how Ken Litwak always used to pipe up, when word of Hebrews arose, about
the possibility of Priscilla as the author(ess). I have no candidate of my
own.
